What are Year Representatives?
The system of Year Representatives works particularly well at our school. Any Sacred Heart parent can volunteer to be a Year Rep for their child's year. The role of a Year Rep is evolving to focus more on ‘pastoral care’ ie. connecting parents, buddying new families, encouraging parents’ to support in classroom and school activities, and coordinating social events that bring families together. Year representatives liaise with teachers and encourage all parents in the year group to become involved in planning and running events throughout the year.

Band
Sacred Heart has a band program for children primarily in Years 3-6. Although we are a small school, our bands have been very successful, with both bands winning Silver Awards at the NSW Band Festival in 2018, and the Senior Band performing at the Chatswood concourse. The children perform at assemblies, school concerts, masses and external competitions.
Mornings
Practices are mornings before school (weekday TBC each year) and are taken by an external Conductor, with the program being run by parents.
Requirements to join
All children need is enthusiasm and a commitment to undertake private lessons in their chosen instrument once a week, outside school time. Blow tests to determine instrument suitability are undertaken every year in Term 4 for year 2 and other interested children.
